OT: American footy thread

[T.S Quint]

Ps no way niners are out, they will hit peak form soon. They just kinda have been in cruise mode but will break out of it imo

Nah, we are done.
Too many injuries and the players we do have on the field are horribly out of form.
Deebo in particular has been a shell of what he was. Offensive line can’t open running lanes and can barely pass block. Trent Williams is out there basically on one leg doing what he can.
Greenlaw and Hufunga out injured all year and now Bosa gone, our defence is shot.

We have a tough run home. Lost too many divisional games. We aren’t getting a wildcard so we have to win the division, which is pretty difficult from this point.

Are the chiefs lucky or just clutch in in pressure moments.

Gee they got away with another victory today.

Bit of both - they certainly get the 50-50 calls.

But Patrick Mahomes is not human.

Pak building nicely

Pak building nicely

Jordan Love is building nicely.

The circus around Aaron Rodgers atm means the packers would be happy to have finally moved on from him but found a quality enough replacement long-term.

Jordan Love is building nicely.

I'm a bit surprised by how he has matured so quickly.

It's interesting to see the Chiefs topping the AFC West, with the second-worst points against in the division.

Only my beloved, pathetic Raiders stop them from having the worst.

 

[T.S Quint]

I'm sad.

What a wasted year.

I was hoping so much that they would lose to the Panthers.
So close.

Mate, NFC West is wide open. All four could win it, then there's the Wild cards. Once you've got a ticket to the playoffs anything can happen.

Last roll of the dice today for the fins i suspect today @Eelectrica.

Odds against them though in cold snowy Green Bay on a night game.

Lets go Fins, change some narratives today

Welcome aboard Jez

Well they never beat good teams
Always shit the bed in prime-time
Rarely win in the cold/snow

So plenty of narratives they have to change

Going for 4 straight wins built a bit of momentum but those early season putrid losses when Tua was out dont leave a lot of margin for error to get a wild card spot

Ill put the line through them for good with a loss today though.

thank you mate. Yep I've been a Dolphins fan since 1990, seen all of the hope and then let down. This year very fine margins for playoffs but I like how they are playing and I think it looks up for 2025 if we fall short this year.
We need a decent back up QB. I think Weaver doing ok with the D.

2009 for me so yet to see a playoff win or division title haha.

First Miami game i got into it was a 2009 MNF game against the Jets - Ronnie Brown scored the match winner in the last play of the game.

Basically got into Madden NFL on PS3 after that and the love for NFL snowballed from there.

What are your thoughts on McDaniel i think he has been found out personally the constant sideway screenplays shit me.

His play calling has improved from last year and clock management too, so he is getting better. His evaluation of Skylar was the biggest error this year. We have do keep rolling with McD there is no choice, he ad Tua are tried together. The more we run the ball the better we are.

 

[the phantom menace]

That took their Chiefs long enough... I didn't expect them to go almost the whole first half against the Raiders without a touchdown.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Worried about the niners. I saw a stat that said we have been undeafeated following a bye, but from my recollection we haven’t played well and just got the w. I could be wrong. But I am worried the bye ruined our groove.

We are walking wounded.
Actually, barely walking. More like crawling wounded.

If we finish within 21 points of the Bills I’ll be shocked.

We’ve screwed ourselves so many times this year. So many games we should have won but did something stupid to let it slip from us. We have a shitload of injuries to our starters but we can’t even blame it all on that when we just play dumb football.

We have the Bills next (expecting a loss) and Bears after that (could go either way). Of course it depends on how the other NFC teams fare, but I don’t think we can come back from this position we’ve put ourselves in.

We’re done.
